The Beauty We Overlook: A Lesson from Marina Beach

The Beauty We Overlook: A Lesson from Marina Beach

When we travel outside of Chennai and mention that we are from the city, those who have never visited often ask us about Marina Beach. Some people get particularly excited about it, which makes me wonder why outsiders are so enthusiastic, while many Chennai residents rarely visit the beach.

This interaction has helped me realize that we, as humans, often fail to appreciate the beautiful things around us. We overlook the places and sometimes even the people close to us. We take them for granted, assuming that since they are nearby, we can visit them at our convenience. This attitude prevents us from truly appreciating the beauty around us and caring for those who are near to us.

When we distance ourselves from these beautiful places and the people we love, we often find ourselves longing for them. It’s essential to appreciate what we have and cherish those close to us, so we don't end up missing them later.

So, here’s my challenge to you: See your city—and your life—with fresh eyes. Visit that place you’ve been meaning to. Call that friend you’ve been too busy for. Cherish the ordinary, because one day, you’ll realize it was extraordinary all along.

Marina Beach isn’t just a landmark—it’s a reminder: The best things in life aren’t somewhere else. They’re right here, waiting for you to notice.

What will you appreciate today?
